I'm doing my computer like new.

Hello, I have a Dell Inspiron 531 s with an AMD Sempron processor 3600 + 2.01 GHz with 1 GB of RAM on Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit version. I have for about a year and a half and its slow down a lot since I first bought it. I was wondering if there is anyway to get back to as good as new. My mother is is real crazy and always think its something I've done for her, but there is no virus and I'm very careful. I am currently using AVG, but I'm about to switch to antivir because my avg trial is in place. If anyone can help restore me my computer to quickly as it used to be no purchase memory or buy anything please help.

You can put 'out of the box' settings if you wish:

It's way to Dell to reinstall from the DVD on your computer.

And that way if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive.

If you do the above, you lose all the data and 3 third-party programs that you have installed.

  • Caps lock key doesn't work does not correctly. New computer.

    My shift key does not work correctly. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I push on it is difficult to ensure that it works. But used in a standard keyboard, it is a problem because I don't bang the keys. I have to keep retype phrases due to errors that it creates.

    Its a shame because my computer is new. In fact, within a month, it is the second time I have to look at the service center. First time because the memory of my computer showed I consumed 40 GB without even having saved/downloaded a single file/document. The repair center did not have an answer and reformat the computer. This problem has been resolved.

    Was so much happier with my Dell computer. Nothing fancy, but no problem.

    I have the same problem. the button is enabled as soon as the second or even third. you don't want to, but you have to take it back in service. Maybe it's a factory default.

    You should probably just download the demo version of the EP 12 and see if you can live with it.

    Download a free trial version or buy Adobe products | Adobe Downloads

    That being said, you tried to install PES 1 on your computer?

    How much free space is on your hard drive?

    You have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?

    PSE 1 can run on windows 7 x 64, if certain conditions are met.

  • Western Digital WD10EARS internal hard drive Caviar Green 1 TB - my system does not recognize the new drive

    I recently bought a computer Dell 4700 to a friend with Windows XP installed. I've updated the memory to 2 GB and now seeks to install a WD10EARS 1 TB harddrive. The new works of fine memory is not the hard drive. My system does not recognize the new drive. I contacted WD for help and they told me to try diferent rider combinations that were Jumper 1-2 and 5-6, still does not work, I checked the hardware compatibility list and he said he would start uo without modification. This isn't. I would be very greatlyful for any suggestions, to HELP!

    I've had several people tried to help me solve my problem. They were all, I thought, more than I am computer savvy. As time progressed, solutions became more complex. After they all left without resolution I thought and it appeared to me that the simplest solution might be correct. One person had checked. I turned on the computer and when the Dell logo came I pushed the F12 key to open the Dell configuration screen. The drive on which the new drive has been installed has NOT been activated! Duh!

  • iTunes sees my camera like new

    When I connect my iPad to iTunes, iTunes thinks the iPad is new and says "Welcome to your new iPad.  It gives the option to restore from a backup or set up like new.  I don't want to save or load like new.  All I want to do is sync it and save.

    Hello fz62007,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that when you connect your iPad to iTunes, iTunes thinks the iPad is new and gives you the ability to restore from a backup or set up like new. You only want to sync iPad and make a backup. I know how it is important to ensure that your iPad is established and synchronized how you would like it. I have something I want you to try.

    If you choose set up as new, it will then take you to a screen that will allow you to sync your iPad with iTunes. See the following article:

    Sync your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iTunes on your computer through a USB port

    And this will help you to make a backup of important data on your iPad:

    The backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    See you soon!

  • Why my form does not compute?

    Can someone please tell me why all of a sudden that nothing does not compute when it was working fine earlier? I moved that a few small things around, but can't see why it won't calculate at all.

    http://www.milesmemorials.com/estimator.html

    First, make a backup copy of your page before doing anything else.

    First off, you have the input field 'minsiter_fee_crem' associated with 'Meeting place for service' select tag (cf. infra red): partner which, with the correct, select the tag option "Select Minister."


    £

    I don't know what of supposed to go in the field "Select the venue", because you don't seem to have a variable associated with relevent there so go 'civil_fee_crem', which was in the field "Select the Minister" in it?

    Then modify the script at the top of the page:

    minister_fee_crem = Number (document.catwebformform22057.CAT_Custom_00003.value)

    civil_fee_crem = Number (document.catwebformform22057.CAT_Custom_00006.value)

    If I'm honest I have no idea why some are written as:

    carry_fee_crem = Number (GetSelectedItem (document.catwebformform22057.CAT_Custom_76923)) and others like:

    crem_fee = Number (document.catwebformform22057.CAT_Custom_76930.value)

    To get "additional services" menu work drop edit the script at the top of the page as below (copy and paste)

    total_funeral = 1640 + Number (GetSelectedItem (document.catwebformform22057.CAT_Custom_76922)) + Number (GetSelectedItem (document.catwebformform22057.CAT_Custom_00000)) + Number (GetSelectedItem (document.catwebformform22057.CAT_Custom_76924)) + Number (GetSelectedItem (document.catwebformform22057.CAT_Custom_76926)) +.

    (Number (document.catwebformform22057.CAT_Custom_76927.value)) + ((document.catwebformform22057.CAT_Custom_00010.value) Number) + Number (GetSelectedItem (document.catwebformform22057.CAT_Custom_76926))

  • Why a feature of CFLOCK does not seem like a bug?


    I searched this forum for discussions about cflock
    and read the livedocs at http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=sharedVars_20.html.
    This reading is above me, thinking that I already knew
    all about using the cflock tag.

    Apparently, I'm not a very critical situation
    the appearance of the tag cflock when the scope of the session locking.

    My question is about a user, a single session, multiple
    and the simultaneous requests coming to the CF8 server
    the same session of the user.

    Sense, a web page that uses ajax, frameworks, pop-ups,
    or the user by pressing ctrl-n-va generate several
    requests to the server CF8 using the same session.

    Based on my understanding, using type = "exclusive will."
    effectively single-threaded access to the code between
    the label. So my question is:


    Why < cflock scope = "session" type = 'exclusive'... >
    single-threaded access to the code between the cflock
    Tag?


    If you are nice enough to answer, I would really
    explain why the current behavior
    in CF8 is the most correct behavior. If the scope
    past of the session of the application or server, it
    will be infact single-threaded execution access.
    Then why is it not the case when the scope is session?

    I came to this problem because I was trying
    to explain to someone the difference between:

    < cflock scope = "session" type = 'exclusive'... >
    and
    < cflock scope = "session" type = "readOnly"... >


    Based on my test simple and what I see, I discovered
    I don't know the difference!


    I know how to re - write the code to perform exactly
    what I want to do. I can't seem to wrap
    my head around why the cflock tag is implemented
    in this way (in which case the session and exclusivity).

    However, it is more likely that I have a bug in my
    simple test... code?

    If you are interested, here's the code I used to
    confirm/test my hypothesis:


    Thanks for reading this post to the end!

    Thank you all to consider this topic.

    Unfortunately the answer was because of my bad code.

    Tip and the Azadi persistence paid off.

    The question was NOT because of my tag
    having the REQUIRED 'NAME' attribute

    I have observed the behavior desired by
    just change my new code sample to include
    the name in my tag attribute.

    Thanks again to everyone who gave this post
    in-depth reflection.

    Moreover, in CF5, the name attribute is a required
    attribute. Post CF5 it is optional. After having
    through six different environments with six different
    configurations, I found a CD CF5 and installed.

    After removing the code java-ish, I quickly
    an error message indicating that the name attribute is a required
    attribute... Ouch.

    Perhaps one of the Adobe ColdFusion team
    can make a change that if the validator tag seen
    This line of code...

    the validator tag will throw an error indicating that
    the NAME attribute is missing.

    Maybe I titled this section as:

    Why a cfapplication feature does not seem like a bug?
    When sessionmanagement = true and the name of the attribute is missing
